i dont want to read doomer shit i just try to ignore social media doomscrolling and anyone that uses the term big x seriously

honestly i didn’t get depressed but that might be because im familiar with most of the topics covered so it wasn’t shocking. the tone wasn’t super sad. in fact the one author cory doctorow is like hated by one of my friends and he says he’s a cringe redditor type who used to just steal topics/ideas from digg lmfao. described as “proto redditor” and yea you can hear his influence in the authorial voice lmfao.

but yea that was all ignorable for the overall concepts. i wrote more on my feelings now that i’ve finished it cause it’s kind of a mid summary of the concepts with poor ideas for reform. not a bad intro tho to the concepts i think

big tech. big pharma. big apple.

yeah i mean it all feels futile and i just try to pay it no mind like im familar w the topics but i dont want to be becus the only add to my negative bias towards living
